C0202 Ford Custom Diagnostic Trouble Code
C0202 Ford Custom code definition:
C0202 is a kind of OBD-II Diagnostic C-Chassis Diagnostic Trouble Code for Ford Custom.
C0202 Ford Custom is described as Fuel System Too Rich, which basically means bank 1's oxygen sensor has detected a rich condition of fuel. This means there's not enough oxygen in the exhaust from too much fuel being delivered into the air and gas mixture for combusion. The PCM then uses this data to provide the right strategies for the fuel delivery and ignition timing of the engine.
Symptoms
Symptoms of a C0202 Ford Custom diagnostic trouble code may include:
- Cherry red hot catalytic converter
- Poor acceleration
- The light may stay on or light intermittently as the DPF regenerates. The engine will be sluggish on acceleration.
- The engine oil will exhibit dilution from the ECUs attempts to increase engine temperature. Some vehicles advance the fuel injection timing slightly after top center to afterburn a small amount of fuel to increase exhaust temperatures. Some of this fuel enters the crankcase. When the ECU determines the necessity to regenerate the DPF, the service life of the oil be shortened significantly
|
Possible Causes :
- Defective ECU strategies or components will prevent proper regeneration
- The Mass Airflow sensor is a hot wire that senses the volume of air entering the intake manifold. The computer uses this information to control fuel mixture.
- An air leak forward of the DPF will change the sensor readings resulting in the code

Common Misdiagnoses
- TP Sensor Learn Not Complete Problem
- Low Coolant Circuit Problem
- Cruise Control System - Vehicle Accel Too High Problem
- TFP Valve Position Switch-Drive Without Drive Ratio Problem
- Problem
Repair Processes :
With the valve disconnected, the red voltmeter lead should be attached to the IMRC valve power wire and the black voltmeter lead connected to ground.
Pack the connector cavity with dielectric silicone compound (same stuff they use for light bulb sockets and spark plug wires) and reassemble.
